Cramps are scary!

First time mom, BFP on 11/3, estimating 6W1D today. Cramps are SO SCARY. How can I know if these are normal or something to be concerned about?! Any advice is welcome.

Cramping is usually normal! If you experience bleeding along with it , I would definitely reach out to your doctor but your the cramping is just your body getting ready to expand

I have cramped really hard before in early pregnancy without any bleeding and it was fine. I’ve also had miscarriages, and trust me, if anything sad is happening from the cramps you’ll start bleeding for sure. It comes together for me every time. So if I’m only cramping with no blood I’m always fine. 

I hope that makes sense and is encouraging 🤣

Yes! It really does set my mind at ease. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. ❤️

So glad you asked this! I am in the same boat! The anxiety is real, but knowing my body is prepping is putting my mind at ease.

The cramping is no joke! Holy cow I had no idea it would start so early. I feel you there!

Yeah, they can be INTENSE! More so than period cramps by far, at least for me. I'm so glad to hear I'm not alone.
